I didn't think the TC1010 was released yet in 1988, but the memory banks are a little fuzzy going back that far. I remember that the 1010 and 1610 replaced the T/TC1000 & 1600 sometime in the late '80's or early 90's. I guess it was the first 1100s that were released when I started with Leica in '95.

Well...it's Wild and not Leica. So when did they become part of Leica; does anyone remember? It seems like we had a Wild T2000 right in the 1989 timeframe.
Indeed for the T2000, I used it in 1990 and it was at the company for some years

The source pic says 1998 not 1988. Dunno if that matters.
I know in 1991 there was the t1000. That's what we used then.
